The primary conceptual foundation of Od Ana consists of simplicity. It's not just function, form, or aesthetics. Considering the design and production conditions, it is the result of an integrative perspective between conscious choice and renunciation. A light source is realized by reinterpreting the aesthetic value of simple components and techniques, without ignoring the emotional impact of its function and form. Thanks to its articulated structure and movable feet, it can be moved according to the needs and mood of the end user and can be used as a desk lamp, table lamp, or floor lamp.

- Production Technology
- Od Ana; handcrafted meticulously by skilled artisans is produced exclusively in limited quantity. Exquisite Spruce Tree was sourced for production. The light box was crafted using a wood spindle moulding technique and the base cylindrical legs were formed using a wood-turning lathe. A water-based varnish was applied to the refined spruce wood yielding a luscious gleam. Artisans expertly shaped the stainless steel forming the metal cage and legs of Od Ana, electrostatic paint was precisely applied to give a final finish.
- Design Challenge
- The main materials of Od Ana are stainless steel and heat-treated beech wood. All parts except electrical components are processed by skilled artisans who do their job diligently. In a society where production is very fast and abundant, designs produced in limited editions with meticulous and careful consideration are already a challenge in itself for economic reasons. Expansion control of metal materials constituting the design technically is provided by fixing the humidity ratios of the workshops where they are produced.
- Project Duration
